As previously reported on PIworld.com, D. Edward Tree wrote on Dead Tree Edition that coated paper prices were set for a collapse, citing falling demand. Paper Guru replied that paper prices would be determined by supply and demand, not by demand alone, and suggested that the mills would balance supply and demand. D. Edward Tree responded that the coated mills were in bad shape financially and could not afford to idle mills, and thus would not be able to balance supply and demand.
